School Tax Credit

Arizona School Tax Credit

An individual may claim a nonrefundable tax credit for making cash contributions or for certain fees paid to a public school located in Arizona for the support of extracurricular activities or character education programs. The credit is equal to the amount of fees paid or cash contributions, not to exceed $400 for married filing joint filers and $200 for all other filing statuses. Don’t forget – you have until Monday, April 15, 2019 to make a contribution and you can chose to apply the tax credit to either your 2018 or 2019 taxes.

To qualify for the credit, an individual must make contributions or pay fees to a public school for support of extracurricular activities or for character education programs.

What this means is that you can make a contribution to Las Puertas, we will provide you with a receipt and you will receive an Arizona tax credit in the amount that you have donated. This amount will be deducted from the amount of income tax that you owe that State of Arizona at tax time. Please consult with a tax professional.
